Forrest Gump is a poor basis for judging Hanks' career. Back home after NY, thanks god. I feel I have to defend my hatred of most Tom Hanks films, and the only reasonable way I could think of to do so was to actually list them. So: He Knows You're Alone - Not seen/no opinion.Splash - Crap.Bachelor Party - Crap.The Man with One Red Shoe - No idea.Volunteers - Not seen/no opinion.The Money Pit - Alright. Has aged poorly though, as i saw it again a few years back and switched over sharpish.Nothing in Common - Not seen/no opinion.Every Time We Say Goodbye - Not seen/no opinion.Dragnet - Funny when you're 10.Big - Decent. ETA: Perhaps controversially, I prefer Vice Versa.Punchline - Mediocre.The 'Burbs - I liked this when I was wee. No idea if I would now.Turner & Hooch - Shite.Joe Versus the Volcano - Not seen, but I've heard this is good, so willing to give benefit of doubt.The Bonfire of the Vanities - Utter shit.Radio Flyer - Not seen/no opinion.A League of Their Own - Drivel.Sleepless in Seattle - Utter shit.Philadelphia - Decent.Forrest Gump - Utter shit.Apollo 13 - Mediocre.Toy Story - Decent.That Thing You Do! - Not seen, but I've heard it's good.Saving Private Ryan - Decent, but not up there with the best war movies.You've Got Mail - Utter shit.Toy Story 2 - Decent.The Green Mile - Sentimental claptrap, but engaging.Cast Away - Utter shit.Road to Perdition - Alright. Bit boring.Catch Me If You Can - Decent.The Ladykillers - Pointless remake and really quite annoying.The Terminal - Utter utter shit.Elvis Has Left the Building - Never heard of it.The Polar Express - Not seen, looks crap.The Da Vinci Code - Mind-numbingly shit.Cars - Not seen/no opinion.Charlie Wilson's War - Thought this was alright.The Simpsons Movie - Didn't know he was in it, but from what I remember it wan't terrible. That spider-pig bit with Homer was awful chat.The Great Buck Howard - Never heard of it.Angels & Demons - Refuse to waste more of my life seeing another Dan Brown film made by Ron Howard, so no idea. I imagine it's appalling though.Toy Story 3 - Decent.Hawaiian Vacation - Never heard of it.Larry Crowne - Not seen, looks shit.Small Fry - Not seen/no opinion.Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close - Not seen, but was tempted to as I like Max von Sydow and John Goodman. The reviews were shit though, so I didn't bother.Cloud Atlas - Alright. Well crap compared to the book though. That's not Hanks' fault I admit, more that book was too much to make into a movie imo.Partysaurus Rex - Not seen/no opinion.Captain Phillips - Not seen, but looks decent.Saving Mr. Banks - Not seen/no opinion.Bridge of Spies - I liked this. Cold War spy movies is one of my favourite film genres, but obviously most are now 40-odd years old. Pleasing that this and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy have provided a few good ones in recent times.Ithaca - Not seen, looks utterly appalling though.A Hologram for the King - Not seen/no opinion.Sully - Not seen, looks good though. I doubt I'll watch it though as biopics generally turn me off.Inferno - Not seen, looks utter utter shit.The Circle - Not seen, looks shit. Emma Watson looks quite sexy though. The Post - Not seen, but I would like to see this one, I do like films where journalists are uncovering secret shit. I've tried to be as fair as i can there, but even if I was to assume 50% of the ones I've not seen were decent, he'd still have produced a lot more rubbish than quality. Several are just schmaltzy crap, and I think it's fair to say that it's those films that have made me dislike him. If I'm wrong about any of the above I'm happy to be taken to task!

Miguel Sanchez Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Good Tom Hanks films: Philadelphia, Toy Story If I could give you an extra greenie for being able to use seen and saw properly, I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordfishtrombone Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Juan Mata maybe worth a shout. His 1% donation of wages is maybe relatively not that big but it's good to see a footballer with a bit of awareness of the world around them.

19QOS19 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 If I'm wrong about any of the above I'm happy to be taken to task! If you rate 6 time Oscar Winner and IMDb's #12 best film of all time Forrest Gump as "utter shit" then I don't think you're going to be reasoned with [emoji38]FWIW these are the Hanks films I've seen:- Big - Good Philadelphia - Very Good Forrest Gump - Very Good thoigh hasn't aged well CGI wise.Toy Story - All Very Good (2nd the worst though)That Thing You Do - GoodSaving Private Ryan - Excellent The Green Mile - ExcellentCast Away - Very GoodRoad to Perdition - Good (can't recall it in great detail but did thoroughly enjoy it)Catch Me If You Can - ExcellentThe Terminal - Good The Polar Express - Very GoodThe Green Mile is one of the finest pieces of cinema ever produced. An absolute masterpiece. I've seen under half his films right enough but I've enjoyed everything he's been in. Generally there is a really engaging story that keeps me interested. His earlier stuff when he was more a comedy actor is probably very sketchy but then I think that would be the case with the majority of actors. And on a side note, when checking IMDb I see he featured in two Band of Brothers episodes. I've watched that several times and have never spotted him once!

Brother Blades Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Jackie Stewart Absolute w****r of a man IMO. Did a lot for driver safety, but his autobiography proves how much of a tit he’s become in later life, always talking about his ongoing sponsorships etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
